Some people have the ability to think for themselves. For the rest, there's prayer.
I used to say similar things and so now looking back at it, I wonder why people assume they know how a god "operates." And then when asked about why this or that, I'll get another spin.
Just doesn't make sense why we feel we need to believe that "something else" is in control. But yet he gives us the ability to solve our own problems. I guess that's the answer we give when we can't make sense of tragedy.
How about we don't try to make sense of it and just accept that there are bad things that just happen? It's like we need to talk to an invisible being to cushion the blows of reality?
I dunno.
